How we research and write

This page describes how the pages in this section are made: how we write them, where the facts come from, how we check them, and what to do if you find a mistake.

How a page is drafted

The pages in this section are drafted with AI assistance.

Where the facts come from

The compound research pages take their facts from primary sources. These include the FDA, PubMed and PubMed Central (PMC), ClinicalTrials.gov, the Federal Register, the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR), PubChem and court records. Each source is fetched on the date stated on the page that cites it, and each page lists its sources.

Sometimes the FDA has published no record of an event. Only then may a page cite a news report or a law firm’s report instead, and the page labels the report as one.

How a page is checked

Before a page is published, an independent AI claims review checks its statements against the sources it cites.

Examples on the explainer pages

The explainer pages use worked examples. These are invented for teaching, and each one is labelled as an example.

What the compound research pages cover

A compound research page gives an overview of the published research on a compound and its current regulatory status. It does not describe what a compound does in a person, and it does not tell you how to use one. It never links to a product.
